You'd think they'd check the buyer hasn't moved house since placing
the order.

I've had a similar experience, I had multiple issues with an order in 2021,
when Lego adjusted something on the order in early to mid 2022 it triggered a
new GWP onto that order (that wasn't there previously) and shipped it to
me.
Not sure if it was a goodwill gesture as a result of so many issues on that order
or a technical glitch, I just went with it and gifted the extra set to my dad.

I'm guessing they found extra in warehouse, plugged them into the system
and old orders that were left unfulfilled after they ran out previously came
up again.

It does permanently need writing permissions to the Program Files\Studio 2.0\

It is not uncommon for software to ask to make changes, especially when Studio
will be making changes to the files which have your virtual Lego model stored.
Without access, many apps will not run on your computer. The best safety precaution
is to make sure you trust the developer before you give it any permission. Studio
is 100% safe to use.

Any shortcuts for entering inventory? I am a new Brinklink store owner and painstakingly
entered one color of my inventory 1 part at a time using Brinklink's interface.
I had hoped there was a way to download what I have entered and get it into
Excel and then update it for my other color parts and then upload back to bricklink.
Is there software to help one do this? XML file is useless to me as my programming
skills are pretty rusty.

Welcome to the world of BrickLink selling.

For manually entering inventory, I find it more efficient to add all of the same
parts of all colors at the same time, rather than adding stuff of all one color
at the same time.

I have also memorized the basic color numbers so I can manually change the price
guide URL for the same item from one color to the next:
The basic color numbers are
1 = White
2 = Tan
3 = Yellow
4 = Orange
5 = Red

6 = Green
7 = Blue
11 = Black
85 = Dark Bley
86 = Light Bley
88 = Reddish Brown

Here are the BL instructions on how to create an upload file by creating an XML
file: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=22

The most commonly used FREE third-party software is BrickStore
https://www.bricklink.com/linkClick.asp?ID=282

I prefer adding pieces one at a time directly to BrickLink. Creating an XML
or BrickStore file offers the possibility of keystroke errors. The error that
trips me up most often is forgetting to change the color from one line to the
next.

There are over 25,000 known orchid species. They grow all over the world, on

Some are very small and plain. Some are very showy and colorful. And everything

The type of orchids you see for sale in your local shop are all tropical epiphitic
orchids (growing on the branches of trees) from rainforest canopies in Southeast
Asia. Although the ones in the store are mostly hybrids grown in large commercial
greenhouses.

Beware Orchids. Collecting them is about as expensive, and addictive as Lego.

These are completely different to the species of orchids that you see for sale,
those you buy are much more eye catching than the ones we have here in the U.K.

I love orchids.

It's interesting that you are suddenly seeing a profusion of these marsh
orchids where you previously noticed none. Orchid seeds are tiny, and are distributed
in huge numbers, but the conditions for germination can be tricky. It is possible
that last summer your area was wetter than usual, or cooler than usual, or drier,
or warmer, or the soil PH became less acidic, or some other environmental change
produced the ideal conditions for growth, resulting in more blooms this year.

I experienced something like this some years ago on my Dad's farm in Canada.
Bruce County is well known for wild orchids, but we had never seen any on the
farm. One year in June, we went for a walk in his Cedar bush, and were greeted
by the most amazing sight of hundreds of beautiful yellow Ladies Slippers in
full bloom. Something had triggered germination and flowering, possibly the woods
being moister that year. The next year there were only a couple of orchids, and
the year after that, they had once again completely disappeared. Who knows but
that there are hundreds of orchids seeds lying dormant in the ground waiting
for the once in a lifetime conditions that will bring them to life again.

Always a welcome site in nature, orchids. These Marsh Orchids can be found in
even colder climes than that of Cornwall, too. It's said that they’re finicky
cultivars, yet surprisingly hardy in the wild.

Thanks for sharing.

No need to go through all that. In brickstore, you can use the Remove from comment

I didn't know it existed.

I just tried, latest version, doesn't work

I've a file with Remarks like "DN1234", I try to remove "DN" or "dn", no
way.

After further tests, it removes a whole word only, like I can remove "DN1234"
but not "DN" from "DN1234".

So, in the case of the OP, it doesn't help him.

Well you are correct, I've only been using it to remove whole words. I'm
going to take a look at the code to see how difficult it might be to make it
do partial words, as I can see the definite benefit to that functionality.

No no - open the file with Notepad++ (better) or Notepad, edit it in using CTRL+H

Yes. This is a 1x6 technic brick and it is true to scale and build. It is made
of MDF and PVC pipe. It was a lot of fun to build.

I also made the gears which are of the same scale. I didn't finish the back
side since they are wall art.

The scissors are for scale.
